It's a... speaker in a picture frame? I just got the Samsung Music Frame, and I'm conflicted
I'm a big audio nerd, which basically means I'm always on the lookout for the best speakers. I'm on a mission to upgrade my home sound system from, well, nonexistent, to existing. I recently got my hands on the Samsung Music Frame, which ticks all my boxes: unique, innovative, stylish, and, surprisingly, sounds great. However, it doesn't really add much to my sound system — it's incompatible with the rest of my tech. So far, I've got a lovely Bose Smart Soundbar, a couple of portable speakers for park trips and car journeys (no, my car doesn't have Bluetooth, yes, I know that's tragic), and one weighty party speaker. I still need a subwoofer (but Bose subwoofers are soooo expensive) and a really good pair of desktop speakers. If you've got a Samsung Q Symphony TV and a Samsung soundbar, then the Music Frame is a no brainer. Still on the fence? Here's my overall first impressions. Let's just take a moment to talk about the most unique part of the Music Frame, and, well, the only reason I'd recommend it wholeheartedly. Its design. The Music Frame is the most innovative speaker I've ever seen, and I've seen a huge range of speakers. The Samsung Music Frame is currently $100 off at Amazon. For existing Samsung users, the Music Frame makes a lot of sense, integrating with other Samsung tech. The design is very innovative and the sound quality is also better than I expected given the small size of the speakers. It can be wall mounted or be placed on its stand. As I must obey the rules of my landlord, I was forced to use the stand. Imagine how cool the Music Frame would look on the wall, though. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. You can even customize the artwork in said Music Frame (for an extra cost... of course). I've not got around to that yet, seeing as I just unboxed this thing yesterday. All in due time. On top of having Apple AirPlay and Chromecast (which works with both my Spotify app and my Qobuz app), the Music Frame also has Alexa and Google Home built in. As I don't use Alexa or Google Home, this is irrelevant to me, but if you partake in the smart home ecosystem, rest assured that the Music Frame will treat you right. I was able to get the Music Frame up and running in seconds thanks to the SmartThings app. My boyfriend named the speaker "Longjohn Beatbox" (don't ask) and now it sits snugly in the rest of my Samsung smart home, alongside my Bespoke Jet AI Ultra ("Chief Dusty") and washing machine ("Mayor Spinny"). I know it means very little, but I do like seeing all my gadgets nice and happy together in my virtual home. Maybe, like Toy Story, they all wake up at night and talk about me. All good things, I hope... all good things. Seeing as the Music Frame is just 2 inches deep, I didn't anticipate mind-blowing sound quality. Why, I hear you ask? Well, it's a frame. It's literally a frame. There's simply no room for ground-shaking woofers. My Tribit StormBox Blast 2 has 60mm woofer, which is roughly 2.4 inches. Ergo, Samsung Music Frame = too small. The Music Frame sounds better than you'd expect, though. I upped the bass to max in the SmartThings app, and also upped my bass in the Spotify app (despite Spotify's EQs being famously bad). The bass-heavy track sounded way better when I played via Qobuz's Airplay over Spotify's, but on both apps, still sounded bassier than anticipated. No, it didn't rattle my bones or irritate my downstairs neighbors (they hate my Tribit StormBox Blast 2), but it did the trick. See, here's the thing: I don't actually think Samsung intended this to be the "Music" Frame. I think the Music Frame is intended to be a rear-speakers-for-Samsung's-luxury-soundbars product. You can sync up the Music Frame with the Q990D (amongst others) for a surround-sound experience. Hear me out. Rear speakers are ugly, right? Yes. So why not fix the problem and design a frankly gorgeous speaker you can put anywhere in your living room? Problem solved. I actually tested out the Music Frame as rear speakers at one of Samsung's HQs and it impressed me way more than listening to music. I think the Music Frame really excels when used as soundbar rear speakers, but just for music? It'll do. It won't blow your socks off, although it won't have you wincing. Unfortunately, as you might expect, the Music Frame's TV/AV features are restricted to the Samsung ecosystem. If you have a Samsung TV (with Q Symphony) and a Samsung soundbar (like the flagship Q990D), you will be able to sync up all these devices for an awesome home hi-fi setup. The Samsung Music Frame is currently $100 off at Amazon. For existing Samsung users, the Music Frame makes a lot of sense, integrating with other Samsung tech. The design is very innovative and the sound quality is also better than I expected given the small size of the speakers. However, if, like me, you have a Panasonic TV and a Bose soundbar (or any other non-Samsung brands), you're kind of stuck. The Music Frame will be demoted to a pretty Bluetooth speaker. For $400, that's an expensive Bluetooth speaker. Yes, it looks cool, but I don't think it sounds good enough to justify $400. Therefore, unless you have a Q Symphony TV and a flagship Samsung soundbar, I think you'd be better off with a different Bluetooth speaker for now — one that prioritizes sound quality over design. If that sounds like you, why not check out the Sonos Move 2 instead? Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

Kindle might have another competitor headed to shelves
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR an online bookstore, was launched in January 2020 to help independent bookstores survive Amazon. Now the company may be introducing its first physical e-reader, presenting a direct competitor to the Amazon Kindle. There is currently a blank landing page for an e-reader visible on the site. In a compelling new development for e-book readers, known for championing independent bookstores, might soon bring a fresh competitor to the hardware space dominated by Amazon's Kindle. Since its launch in 2020, has carved out a niche as the Amazon alternative for people who want their online purchases to support small, local shops. Over the past five years, the platform has funneled millions of dollars to independent bookstores, cementing itself as a functional, reader-friendly marketplace. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a preferred source in Google Search to support us and make sure you never miss our latest exclusive reports, expert analysis, and much more. In early 2025, the company turned a new page by launching its own e-book store and reading app. The app offers an extensive catalog, from bestsellers to niche titles, and lets buyers choose which indie shop gets a cut of their purchase. Right now, digital reading experience lives entirely in software. But that could change. CEO Andy Hunter has openly floated the idea of a dedicated e-reader, possibly launched via crowdfunding to keep the project aligned with the company's community-driven ethos. As spotted by GoodEReader, the site now features a landing page for the potential hardware. The presumed vision for this hardware isn't a walled garden like Kindle, but something more open to multiple formats. Think along the lines of Kobo or Boox devices, but with the clear identity baked in. For readers, that could mean breaking free from the 'one-store, one-device' model and choosing an ecosystem that better fits their values. For indie bookstores, it could be a tangible product to sell alongside print titles and a way to reach tech-savvy readers they might otherwise miss. For the e-reader industry as a whole, it could be another voice in the ongoing conversation about digital rights, open formats, and fair revenue sharing. For now, this is mostly rumors, but if hints turn into hardware, a e-reader could be an intriguing shake-up of the e-reader space. Follow

Apple iOS 18.6.1 Surprise iPhone Software: Should You Upgrade?
If you'd thought that we'd seen the last of iOS 18 with the recent release of iOS 18.6, you wouldn't have been alone. But Apple has released a new update that specifically brings back a missing feature to millions of Apple Watches. This post has the initial thoughts on the new release and I'll be updating this post over the coming week and will make a final assessment on Friday, Aug. 8. Who Is It For And How Do You Get It? Apple iOS 18.6.1 is compatible with all iPhones from 2018 on. That's the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Plus and iPhone XR models and every phone since. That means the iPhone 11 series, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and so on right up to the iPhone 16 series, plus the second- and third-generation iPhone SE models as well as the iPhone 16e. If you have any of these phones except the first three, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Plus and iPhone XR, they will work with iOS 26. To update, find the iPhone's Settings app, click on General, then Software Update. Then, choose Download and Install, and the software will download from there. This is a medium download, around 720MB, but it should be reasonably quick to install. What It's About This update, though is recommended for all users, is specifically to introduce a benefit for millions of Apple Watch users. A patent dispute between Apple and medical equipment company Masimo led to the blood oxygen monitoring feature on U.S.-sold Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 to be disabled. It never appeared on Apple Watch Series 10 models sold in the States. The software update means all compatible Apple Watches sold anywhere to have the feature again, once this update and a watchOS 11.6.1 update are installed. It's essentially a workaround: you still activate the Blood Oxygen app on your Apple Watch, but it now transmits data to the iPhone where it is calculated and analyzed, with the result found in the Health app under the Respiratory section. Compatible Apple Watches comprise Series 7, Series 8, Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Ultra 2. You can read more about the blood oxygen feature's return here. Apple iOS 18.6.1 Security No, there are no security features in this update, Apple says. Mind you, there were more than 20 in the last one, and that was scarcely more than two weeks ago, so perhaps that's no surprise. Initial Reactions Some users have reported a snappier performance on their iPhones though nobody has said it introduced new problems, I believe. One Redditor said their iPad now had a blank screen, but to be clear there hasn't been an iPad update. Apple iOS 18.6.1 Initial Verdict: Update If you are in the U.S. and have an Apple Watch or are going to get one in the future, this is a no-brainer. For the rest of us, go ahead, there's no harm here and maybe you'll find a snappier iPhone as a result. If you have an Apple Watch, don't forget to install watchOS 11.6.1 as well. Final verdict next week.
